Comment (by dd32):

 > Standard behaviour for a textarea when tab key is pressed is to move to
 the next item that can receive focus.

 Standard behaviour for a "Code Editor" (Which the text area is in this
 case) is to insert a tab character for indention purposes, Shift+Tab would
 be to un-indent, so to remove the tab before the current position.

 The Plugin/Theme editors being Code Editors rather than standard form
 elements makes me comfortable that the Esc key being added as an escape..
 but that's just a Developers opinion, those that would be using the
 textarea, for the tab key to do anything other than inserting a tab makes
 muscle memory useless
